Summary: Great For NYC Apartments!
Comment: I decided, just before the summer heat started, to buy only one air conditioner for my bedroom and a dehumidifier for the living room to provide some comfort. Believe it or not it works great! At least this brand does. My living room has 10' ceilings and is approximately 400 square feet (including a kitchen.) The room is still warm especially when the temperature reaches 80, but there is no discomfort. The only down side is the warm air released by unit. The living room cools off as long as I have my Vornado fan (best fan in the world) blowing cool air from the bedroom to living room.

Summary: Don't waste your time with the other brands
Comment: I tried a Haier 65 pint and it was louder on its low setting than this one is on its high setting. The Haier also started short-cycling after about 5 days of operation. After that bad experience, I spent a couple of hours reading every review of dehumidifiers I could find, and decided to go with the Soleus based on the fact that it was supposed to be the quietest. WHAT A HUGE IMPROVEMENT over the Haier!
I would give this model 5 stars, but it has these "deficiencies" when compared to other models:
1. No temperature and humidity display. Ok, I agree, it doesn't affect the operation, but it's one of those things I did like about the Haier. Granted, on the Haier, all the display did was show me that the thing stopped working.
2. The hose connection needs to be punched out and is not a threaded connection for a garden hose, although my garden hose slips over the connection just fine when I cut off the hose end.
3. The unit does not return to "on" after power goes out. I really wanted this feature so that I could put the unit on a timer to run for x hours every day.
4. It's not Energy Star rated. It is only 330W though, which is much less than other similarly sized models.
In summary: Don't waste your time with all the other models available. The Soleus works fine and I can't hear it in the next room even when the fan is on HI.
PS: Look around and you may find a deal like I did. I paid just 139 at a big box.

Summary: Works well
Comment: I purchased this dehumidifier for mainly basement use, but wanted one quiet enough for use upstairs if needed. And, boy is this thing quiet. My refrigerator is louder. I also own a Fedders 45 pint unit and a Whirlpool 65 pint noise maker. The Fedders (Maytag) was the quiet champ untill I purchased the Soleus Air CFM-40E. The Whirlpool removes an amazing amount of water, but can be heard UPSTAIRS when running in the basement. So it is used only when needed. The Soleus Air is so quiet I have to go down the basement stairs and visually check to see if the unit is on. Can't say that for many dehumidifiers. My only complaint is that the fan is always on, even when it has reached the set humidity level. This prevents the short cycling the others do, on for 2 minutes off for 2 minutes or so, but I think prevents an Energy Star certification. At 2.9 amps it draws significantly less than the Fedders 5.6 amps and the Whirlpool's 7.9 amps.
The Soleus Air works great (so far) upstairs in the spring, when it is cool but damp, like the weather this week. Here in Wisconsin it is in the 60's but rainy, so the house is humid. Running the central air is not necessary since the house is not hot. So I use a dehumidifier, which makes the house seem less clammy. I would recommend the Soleus Air CFM-40E to anyone who is looking for a small, really quiet, relatively light, medium capacity (40pint) dehumidifier that simply does what is supposed to do (remove water from air) with out excess noise.

Summary: Great machine!
Comment: It sucks up the moisture restoring my books to their former (drier) glory. Wish the water pan were a little easier to handle.

Summary: works like a charm
Comment: We're using this in a 840 sq ft house to keep mildrew at bay during the rainy season. It works great. 40 pints refers to the amount of moisture it pulls out of the air, not the size of the reservoir. The fan does create a bit of air flow which can cause some "wind chill", but air circulation is overall a good thing. When enclosed in the bathroom overnight, it also does a great job of drying hand laundry! I'm very pleased to have purchased this product.

This truly portable dehumidifier is lightweight for convenient transportation. It features a high-quality compressor with 3 different settings for years of use and quiet operation. The attractive, compact design is easy to store and has a large 6-liter tank with automatic shutoff to prevent overflow and a full-tank indicator. The washable air filter promotes a healthy living environment by preventing bacterial growth. Imported. 21-1/2Hx15Wx10-1/2D".
